They were talking about the person who has led the assessment of expenses on Radio 4 this morning. I've forgotten the name but they were saying that he is an ex Marine who will not stand for any nonsense from the corrupt MP's.

It brought to mind a story that was on here a few months ago about a bloodless military coup and how ex military people were behind the leak to the Telegraph. If that was true let's hope that this is an extension of that action and that they will keep this story right at the forefront of public attention in the run-up to the next election.

OH. As you seem to be the only person trying to organise a meaningful protest at the disgusting behaviour of MPs,we hope that your attempt to get the snowball rolling will attract support from the frustrated victims of this scandal. An all out effort by all Bloggers can bring this to the notice of the wider public.Go get 'em Boy.

Moral compass - those MPs & their 'protectors' Plod, CPS Criminal Justice System wouldn't recognise morality or truth if it hit them in the face. I assume we can all follow their example now, cheat, defraud etc etc & get away with saying sorry?

If I had only to say sorry for the 1000 pound overpayment by the tax credits over three years, I would have been a lot happier. What actually happened is I had to pay every penny back at 50 pounds a month, dual standards and it makes me sick.

I'm amazed there was no-one outside the court throwing rocks and rotten eggs at the thieving whore. We're too gentle and polite in this country. Time was (and not so long ago) there'd have been bricks through windows over something like this.

...and did you see Cameron on the bbc,where he said 'coneratives have paid back £250,000' as if it meant NOTHING.It slid out of his slimey mouth without touching the sides.Like it was something to be PROUD of.How the fuck can these crooks STILL be in their jobs.If that were us,and we'd stolen from the public purse,we'd have the fucking book thrown at us.Yet these cunts just pay it back;wasn't my fault,all within the rules bullshit...and then that's that.They keep their jobs and carry on as if fuck all just happened.This country is FUCKED.

In May 2009, it was revealed that Balls and Cooper together 'flipped' the designation of their second home three times in a 24-month period, in order to fund a property portfolio, despite being warned several times by expenses officials that their claims were excessive

This is from wikipedia. Are this pair of thieving gits going to get any kind of punishment. Surely this is blatant fraudulent misuse of taxpayers money for personal gain. What would happen to me if I did something like this? I would be crucified and I'm a nobody whilst they are supposed to set an example.

We need a complete one for everyone in the country... every relevant constituency to access during the build-up to the election so there's a clear hit list of MPs to depose... come election night we can keep a running score of who's gone and how much of a kicking they took.

Any fellow geeky types are welcome to contact me if they want to set up and work on something like this.

To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it's justice; that is its morality.
